Managing S3 buckets

If you are using an S3 tenant and you have the appropriate permissions, you can create S3 buckets, specify compliance settings, update consistency level settings, configure cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), and enable and disable last access time update settings for the S3 buckets that belong to this tenant account.

Choices

Managing compliant buckets and objects
If you are using an S3 tenant account and you need to comply with regulatory requirements when saving object data, you can enable the compliance setting when creating an S3 bucket. If you plan to create compliant buckets, review the steps to create and manage compliant buckets and the considerations for compliant buckets and objects.

Creating an S3 bucket
You can use the Tenant Manager to create S3 buckets for object data. When you create a bucket, you must specify the bucket's name and region. Optionally, you can also specify compliance settings for the objects in the bucket.

Configuring compliance settings
If you created a compliant S3 bucket, you can change the bucket's compliance settings. You can increase, but not decrease, the retention period; place the bucket under a legal hold; remove a legal hold; or change the auto-delete setting. You cannot disable compliance or edit the bucket's name or region.

Changing the consistency level
If you are using an S3 tenant, you can use the Tenant Manager or the Tenant Management API to change the consistency control for operations performed on the objects in S3 buckets.

Enabling or disabling last access time updates
When grid administrators create the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) rules for a StorageGRID Webscale system, they can optionally specify that an object's last access time be used to determine whether to move that object to a different storage location. If you are using an S3 tenant, you can take advantage of such rules by enabling last access time updates for the objects in an S3 bucket.
